Title: NE Pacific Weather Tracking/Study
Post by: atomic7732 on August 09, 2011, 09:44:09 PM

I thought I'd make a topic for this. I'll be posting some graphics daily at around the same time, or at least the images will be. Help out with whatever... talk about weather events as well here... I don't want to hog every post in this topic.

In today's I don't really know what 5 is doing but it might be a bit subtropical (on visible and IR wavelengths)? I'm no expert, but I guess we'll just have to watch and wait.

Upper level lows - My knowledge of water vapor imagery interpretation

I intend to turn this into a rightfully compiled list of official data sources as well as my personal graphic for it, but I will have a personal touch, for example, any anomalies in the data (missed subtropical cyclones, other interesting bits). I don't know how legit this will be if I find a subtropical cyclone or something and wikipedia or something needs a source, or anything. We'll have to see how this turns out in the next few days and what I decide to do with it.

Windstorm Track File (https://docs.google.com/document/d/10qmG7ZPI3rERwMjGOPsFD_Ha6Z09iMkQoE2jPSsPhcg/edit) - for editing best tracks and updating

some useful sources would be http://manati.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/datasets/ASCATData.php/ASCATData.php, CIMSS' satellite derived windspeeds, and the Ocean Prediction Center

this post (http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php/topic,4368.msg155181.html#msg155181) explains how to use McIDAS V.

Definition of a nameable extratropical cyclone:
1. It must have winds at or above 35kt in its near vicinity.
2. It must have a low pressure center.
3. The low's outermost closed isobar must be 8 hPa higher than the minimum at the center.
4. It must be within the Northeast Pacific basin*.
5. Exceptions may be made for storms near the Northeast Pacific basin that are already notable.

*Definition of the Northeast Pacific basin: It is the region of ocean between 180° and 110°W, 20°N and the continental divide of North America, and the Bering Sea west of 180°.

Title: Re: NE Pacific Weather Tracking/Study
Post by: atomic7732 on August 30, 2015, 09:01:08 PM
sure what do you want to do

you're hired we start tomorrow

my general plan is that we'll write a daily summary if there are no windstorms, and probably summarize what happened. for example, "significant low <pressure> <location> moved <blah blah> since the last summary, or formed, or dissipated" and if it is likely to become a windstorm or not

if there are storms then probably issue 2 or 3 gale/storm/hurricane warning a day but i'm not sure what the timing for that would be. i don't expect us to do shifts or anything like that so it'll basically just be after a certain elapsed time if you can get to it, go for it.

some useful sources would be http://manati.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/datasets/ASCATData.php/ASCATData.php, CIMSS' satellite derived windspeeds, and the Ocean Prediction Center
Title: Re: NE Pacific Weather Tracking/Study
Post by: atomic7732 on August 31, 2015, 07:58:46 AM
oh you know what i am going to do

adapt my TC tracking tool to work for this

also we could keep internal tracks updated to every 6 (or even 3, since fast moving?) hours even if no warning was issued for a particular time

like gray (pre- or ex-windstorm), yellow (gale), orange (storm), reddish-pink (hurricane)

poor estimate

though you can estimate because a degree of latitude is approximately 60 nmi at all times

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/v/ might be a good idea actually, i didn't think of that

it has like 1-2 days of past data, just connect to satepsanone.blahblahblah server i forgot what the GOES-West infrared and visible imagery was called though i'll check later

hint: it probably starts with GW IR is band 4 vis is band 1 or 2

Set your server to satepsanone.nesdis.etc & click connect

(https://i.gyazo.com/944f390093297088ce172fada960a4d1.png)

select GWNHEM04I4 (or 01V for visible, and like 04I3 for water vapor), GWFDSK (full disk), or GE (goes east) MT (MTSAT) etc for different satellites and sectors and wavelengths

(http://i.imgur.com/ynRIB0Q.png)

Select how many images you want. It will take a while to load more than like one image (when you display them later).

(http://i.imgur.com/b4R2tKJ.png)

Open this thingy up

(http://i.imgur.com/wkecm5F.png)

Select 'Brightness' or 'Temperature' because those are calibrated data sets. Find the Advanced tab, and click the green expandy symbol to tell it to display a full res image. Then click Create Display.

(http://i.imgur.com/Lv8AmWR.png)

It will load and then your second window will be like 'hi i have thing'

(https://i.gyazo.com/0aa26967ee97dd53e3befb0733495e21.png)

You can change the projection. I created my own projection, it's pretty simple, and it works well for both the tropics and especially the poles. You can pan (and zoom) with the tools on the right, or scroll with your mouse (to zoom, but you can't click and drag to pan)

(http://i.imgur.com/1uVrmLJ.png)

and then you can mess with the color tables or make you own. Here's Asaaluk in my extratropical IR color scheme

we need to consistently keep track of these things at least by name

and we can name things outside of our region if it's large enough or moving east

Definition of a namable extratropical cyclone:
1. It must have winds at or above 35kt in its near vicinity.
2. It must have a low pressure center.
3. The low pressure center's outermost closed isobar must be 8mb higher than the center.
4. It must be within the Northeast Pacific basin*.
5. Exceptions may be made for storms near the Northeast Pacific basin that are already notable.

*Definition of the Northeast Pacific basin: It is the region of ocean between 180° and 110°W, 20°N and the continental divide of North America, and the Bering Sea west of 180°.

WINDSTORM JERRY CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND IS NOW A MINIMAL WINDSTORM.
THE SYSTEM SHOULD CEASE THE GENERATION OF GALE-FORCE WINDS OVERNIGHT
BUT WILL REMAIN TRACKED AS LONG AS IT IS RECOGNIZABLE.

FAR TO THE SOUTHEAST, WINDSTORM KEGET HAS MERGED WITH A SMALLER LOW
PRESSURE TO ITS WEST AND HAS PREVENTED THE SYSTEM FROM GAINING
A MODEST REPRESENTATION ON SATELLITE. ALTHOUGH, THE SYSTEM APPEARS
TO BE REORGANIZING AND CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN. IN ADDITION, KEGET
SEEMS TO HAVE GENERATED A NEW CIRCULATION CENTER NEAR 150W, A
SIGNIFICANT JUMP EAST FROM ITS PREVIOUS LOCATION. THIS IS LIKELY A RESULT
OF THE NEARLY COMPLETE MERGER. RAPID INTENSIFICATION OF THIS SYSTEM
IS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

i didn't really like it

i wanted it to be more concise, cover more things, look less like advisories, and look more like summaries

but the advisories were useful for past tracking, so that's why i added that tracking data doc, so that if you or i want to go back on the stuff we missed (usually 12z) we can put it in the track file whenever and not have to write a summary or advisory for it after the fact

/me proposes the name "Chandler" (on List 3) be removed in favor of "Chufkínikich," which means "little great horned owl" in Karuk

also should we retire names and draft replacements? and if so, what would the criteria be for that... ?

if it affects land? if it is a severe windstorm?

criteria for retirement is "if it gets in the news" so basically if it's a significant storm either records-wise or has effects

Borat (it was a pretty deep storm and intensified rapidly and CIMSS pointed it out on their twitter page but idk if that's enough)
Inteus? (intensified rapidly and hit BC/washington area)
Jerry (deepest storm in nepac in a year)
Lane? (idr, it was stronk)
Quinn? (possibly was newsworthy in the pnw)
Vilen (severe weather in california etc)

Post by: atomic7732 on September 19, 2016, 12:12:26 PM
the 978 or 988?

either way we do

the 988 has no local resilience (it's not 8 hPa deep) and the 978 doesn't have associated gales, so neither gets a name

the only problem i have with our criteria is it misses some nice looking weaks :(
(because they are not deep enough)



in other news "winter" begins soon (october)
should we wait until the 1st or start whenever we get the first storm from now?

the system in the gulf of alaska is likely to become deep enough to classify as a windstorm at 06z

should we designate it and begin?

it would be called Windstorm Kilallurak

it is expected to cross over alaska into the arctic ocean but will not be of windstorm intensity by that time (we'd drop it anyway, unless dar wants to be pleasure master arctic windstorm tracker)

around 3 to 5 days out we should see one or two more named (weak) windstorms off BC



over the next six months we are likely to reach somewhere near the end of List 6 which is the list just completed in name game, which means we'll have to soon determine the final forms of the lists from name game (names like Whopper, Xanax, and Yqt for example will probably need to be replaced). Ho as well might have to, just because, while a legitimate name, could also be considered an offensive word.
Title: Re: NE Pacific Weather Tracking/Study
Post by: Darvince on September 22, 2016, 10:29:41 AM
yes begin with the kill aura

also things in the arctic ocean are almost never of windstorm intensity like even the 970s in august only reached intensities of 35kt

hello welcome back

Windstorms Griupokola (Bering) and Iłeemts'a̰x (off Haida Gwaii)

i have an idea for a quick and easy way to update tracks for these storms... the last iteration was pretty clunky

i'm thinking we basically have a page like http://tropicalcyclonedata.net/tracks/historic3.html but make the editor a bit larger and make it so that people with a username and password (me and dar) can edit a live, saved version of the tracks on the site, so all you have to do is go to the page, log in, make changes, and it's updated

location should be a satellite estimate, winds satellite estimate or ascat etc, pressure from the opc data (http://paladinofstorms.net/meteo/npac_opc/img/)

then i'll add an irc bot (i'll make pywx do it, the same pywx i plan on having report rain and other weather data from my weather station at home) which will send a message every 6 hours, at around 0, 6, 12, and 18z which will be like 'hey please enter <hour>z data for <recently active windstorms>' to remind us

* formation occurred before the beginning of the summary period

Note: Dahlia has been reclassified as having never reached windstorm strength, since a more thorough analysis has determined that it never had a central pressure 8 hPa deeper than its environment.

Further Investigation

There is potential for the retirement of Severe Windstorm Iłeemts'a̰x provided its potential impact, but further research must be done to determine its impacts.

Additionally, Atsaya formed before the beginning of the summary period, and was not tracked before December 1st 0000z.

At the beginning of the period the basin was mostly occupied by large long-track systems like Leptenok and Moskva. Later on this gave way to much more compact systems like Nysa (right) and Odol (left), which existed concurrently, pictured here on the 20th, near Nysa's peak:

Code: [Select]
ON 20191203 AT 06Z IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC

LOW 1009HPA (EX-WINDSTORM OSAGE) LOCATED NEAR 35N 133W
WITH WINDS EASING

WINDSTORM PHENA 985HPA LOCATED NEAR 59.5N 145.0W
WITH GALES TO 45KT IN QUADRANTS SE SW
WEAKENING TO 35KT IN 24HR

LOW 1004HPA LOCATED NEAR 49N 170W
WITH STORM FORCE WINDS TO 50KT IN QUADRANT SW
AND GALES IN QUADRANTS SE SW NW
WEAKENING TO 40KT IN 24HR

Extra discussion:
Weak thermodynamic and dynamic forcing will result in steady weakening as Phena tracks slowly southeast.

The 1004 hPa low seems to be supported by its position relative to the jet: it's located in the left exit region which provides ageostrophic forcing for ascent. It's kind of displaced from the thermal gradient it formed on earlier today, which will prevent intensification. In fact it will probably generally weaken over the next day or so. However, a large and strong upstream cyclone in the NW Pacific will be acting to build a ridge which in turn will help to strengthen a surface anticyclone which will induce cold advection on its northeast periphery, resulting in a deepening of the trough this low is associated with and frontogenesis which will provide a favorable environment allowing this cyclone to develop into a significant system around two days out.

automatic nwpac tracking implemented in a test area from 140-180E

i'm not going to curate the data very hard unless something happens like a storm stops being tracked and gets picked up again and gets renamed (in which case i'll fix the name)

(https://i.imgur.com/6bzzNF7.png)

the first three names of the nwpac list are

Anx̂s - Itelmen 'river delta'
Bogu - Evenki 'deer'
Chichikeu - Ainu 'apparition'

lots more names are necessary so if dar wants to contribute some that'd be much appreciated
